This is the best thai food I have ever had. Conveniently located outside the Hockinson market. The staff are always extremely friendly, smiling and can’t speak highly enough about every item I’ve tried from here. Portion sizes are great, prices are fair and the quality you’re getting is worth every penny. Thank you Yanni’s! I’ll never go anywhere else!

Wonderful food, service, and experience at Yanni’s Thai food! So much flavor, authenticity, and you can even grab a delicious craft beer, kombucha, or homemade rootbeer at Hockinson Market next door. I love the cozy indoor room next to the taproom or the outdoor patio seating to enjoy the meal at as well. Plenty of parking behind the building.

Can’t believe I didn’t notice this little hidden gem sooner. Every time I’m down in this area housesitting I drive by them not realizing it’s a little Thai food truck. Read the reviews and said hey let’s give them a try. Got something simple for husband and I to share, a medium spiced chicken Pad Thai with two iced coffees and a mango sticky rice since it’s never in season lol. Hands-down everything was five stars. The service, the rapport, the kindness, the food & drink packaging and of course, the food. I do appreciate that the Thai coffee wasn’t incredibly sweet. Usually it’s overpowering. This was a little more mellow and I really enjoyed that. The less sweet the better for me, but that’s not everybody’s cup of tea. I can’t wait to try their Thai iced tea as well. You definitely get your monies worth. For the price, I’d eat here any day of the week over a modern Thai restaurant :).

This place has really amazing Thai food. The level of flavor in all the dishes is not a coincidence. These are perfected recipes. We’ve tried a few things so far and our favorite is the larb. But everything is great. Always great service and convenient location, though a lil far from home for us. We will still go out of our way to come here!

The shrimp salad rolls are just the way I like them. The peanut sauce was delicious, it was a lighter sauce with balanced flavors. The Tom Kha was good. The Panang was fire (in a good way). I’ve never been disappointed with their food and have even used them to cater a large event for my job. Today I got a few things and again enjoyed all of it. They will always have my business

Authentic Thai Worth Every Mile
Why drive 30 minutes north of Portland which is arguably the food truck capital of the Pacific Northwest only to a hit a quiet three-way stop between Vancouver and Battle Ground? Because Yanni’s Thai Food Truck in Hockinson is that good.
Yanni, originally from Udon Thani, Thailand, has created something rare: truly authentic Thai food served out of a humble red truck parked in the middle of pastoral Southwest Washington. In a region where “Thai food” often means overly sweet pad Thai and reheated satay from a warehouse store, Yanni has quietly built a devoted following for two years strong and growing.
The menu is the real deal. From fragrant Tom Yum to spicy, citrusy Larb and perfectly balanced Pad Thai, every dish is made to order and hits those Southeast Asian flavor notes that food lovers crave. The spice levels are made to match your comfort (or ambition), ranging from Farang nit noi (mild) to Farang baa pet mak mak (wildly spicy) just ask, I dare you!
What makes this place even more special is the experience: Yanni and her family serve with warmth, pride, and that signature hospitality that Thailand is known for. The crowd is as eclectic as the menu from locals, Thai expats, curious road trippers and you never know who you’ll run into, but everyone is there for the same reason: great food, made with love.
It’s affordable, consistently excellent, and worth the drive every single time. Yanni’s isn’t just a food truck it’s a destination.

This Thai food is delicious! The pad Thai has a depth of flavor that I haven’t experienced in the many other Thai food places in town that I have tried. It tastes authentic and Yanni, the owner/chef takes pride in her food and you can taste it! I asked her the secret and she said she cooks with love and you can taste it! I cannot wait to try everything on the menu!

This place is so incredible, we went 3 times in one week! Thai food is my favorite food, and I’ve even traveled Thailand and taken cooking classes. This is hands down some of the best Thai food Ive ever had. This food truck is incredible and the prices are reasonable at $14.50 an entree with very large portions. The family is incredibly friendly, and is run by Yanni herself who moved here from Thailand. We highly recommend! The food is seasonally fresh, and the crab puffs tasted like actual crab.

Stop searching, this is the BEST Thai food in the area. Trust me, I’ve tried them all. You can’t beat the price and the flavor profile is top tier. The service is great and we can’t keep going back! We love the cashew nut chicken, pad se ew, salad rolls, crab wontons, and Thai iced tea. Highly recommend.
